Geologica

Tectonic mechanisms raise mountains, model continents, devour entire oceans, and shape the appearance of our planet to this day. Based on the geological time periods Geologica grants a deep insight into the emergence and development of different landforms. The world's most extraordinary examples are presented using many images and maps, and the underlying geological processes are easily explained. The numerous, sometimes stunning photographs show glaciers and fjords in Alaska, Norway, New Zealand and Chile, impressive cave systems in Asia, Europe and America or volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean, Iceland and Hawaii. Let Geologica take you into the world of geology and discover its mostly hidden forces and its influence on the earth and its flora and fauna. Highlights: • Volcanoes, caves, glaciers, deserts and islands, presented with fascinating examples • Explaining geological processes that created island groups, mountain ranges, ditches, valleys, deltas and geysers • Aerial and satellite imagery • Over 100 detailed world and region maps
